Background: Coriandrum sativum is traditionally being used to relieve toothache, ease migraine and rheumatic arthritis.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of Coriandrum sativum compared with morphine and ASA.
Methods: Percolated and soxhleted methanolic extracts of Coriandrum sativum, in different doses, were injected into mice (IP) and the analgesic effect was determind by formalin and Tail flick tests. This experimental study was carried out in Kerman pharmacy school in 2002.
Findings: The results showed that percolated extract in doses of 25, 50, 100, 200mg/kg induced signinificant analgesia compared with the normal saline group. The most effective dose of extract was 50 mg/kg. The analgesic effect of this dose was different from morphine and ASA.
Conclusion: Since the naloxone did not induce any significant effect on the analgesic property of extract by Tail flick and formalin test except following 20-25 min in formalin test, so it seems that the opioid receptor may be involved in inflammatory phase.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-174-en.htmlKeywords: CorianderTraditional MedicineAnesthesia and AnalgesiaDental AnesthesiaHeadacheMigraineperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-0184913articleStudy of anti-inflammatory and healing effects of Achillea millefolium in the treatment of indomethacin-induced gasthic ulcer in ratI. Rashidi Email: I_rashidi@yahoo.com1M. Taherimoghadam2AR. Mozaffari3Abstract
Background: According to numerous sources, the plant "Achillea millefolium" is used for various ailments, mainly for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract or tonically for the healing of wounds.
Objective: In this research, the effects of hydro-alcoholic extract (8:2V/V) of the plant Achillea millefolium on the treatment of gastric ulcer and possible hepatotoxicity of the plant in rat were studied.
Methods: Hydro-alcoholic extraction of the plant was carried out using maceration, followed by concentrating under vacuum. Gastric ulcer in rat was induced by oral administration of indomethacin suspension (30mg/kg) in 1% carboxy methyl cellulose following 72 hours of fastin. Hydro-alcoholic extract of the plant was orally administrated as a single dose but in different concentrations of 125, 250, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/kg for 14 days following induction of gastric ulcer in rats. At the end of the experimental period, animals were killed and the stomachs were examined both macroscopically and microscopically.
Findings: All different concentration of Achillea millefolium were effective in treating of gastric ulcer specially those with concentrations of 500,1000 and 1500 mg/kg which showed to be the most effective ones. The extract with concentration of 500 mg/kg was considered to be the most effective dose in treatment as no liver disorder was observed.
Conclusion: Achillea millefolium is a suitable preparation in treatment of gastric ulcer.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-161-en.htmlKeywords: Achillea MillefoliumGastric UlcerHepatotoxcityRatIndomethacinperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-01841420articleThe effect of coronally advanced flap in root coverage of Miller class 1 recessions in single rooted teethS. Vahabi Email: Surena_Vahabi@yahoo.com1Abstract
Background: Gingival recession has a high prevalence. Tooth sensitivity and esthetic problem are two complications of gingival recessions.
Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the clinical outcome following treatment of localized gingival recessions using coronally advanced flaps (CAF).
Methods: Seven consecutively patients in Shahid Beheshty faculty of dentistry (2002) with buccal Class I Miller gingival recession having high level of oral hygiene, were included in this study. Blind calibrated evaluation, provided 20 sites in single-rooted teeth. Clinical measurements including recession height (RH), clinical attachment level (CAL), height of keratinized gingiva (KG) and probing depth (PD) were taken by means of Williams probe, Caliper and acrylic stent. During surgical procedures, CAF was similarly carried out in all of teeth. Clinical measurements were repeated fallowing 3 month post-surgery and areas of covered roots were calculated with AutoCad software by means of 5 points of each root.
Findings: CAF resulted in a significant decrease in recession depth (2.39 ±0/82m,60.8% and recession width (2/1±2 mm , 43/7% ,P<0.002) and gain in CAL(2.63 ± 0.9, P<0.001). Area of covered root was 10.44±7.04mm in CAF (p<0.01) after the 3-month evaluation. PD and KG changes were small and not significant. Using CAF 55% of roots of the teeth were covered by more than 12.5 mm2 (two-third of highest value).
Conclusion: The CAF operation offers a predictable, simple and convenient approach to root coverage procedure in Miller Class I recession defects.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-163-en.htmlKeywords: Gingival RecessionCoronally Advanced FlapsGingival DiseasesSurgeryToothDental EstheticsperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-01842126articleA survey on platelet surface glycoprotiens in patients with Bernard-Souliar syndrome by flowcytometryK. Shams Asanjan Email: Sh.Asengan@gmail.com1Abstract
Background: The gold standard diagnosis of the Bernard-Souliar syndrome (BSS), a rare disease, is to prove the absence of Ib/IX surface complex on platelets with the use of aggregometric methods. Flowcytometry is an ideal method in analysis of surface markers on cells.
Objective: The use of flowcytometric analysis in diagnosis of Bernard-Souliar syndrome.
Methods: 15 suspected BSS, 20 healthy persons as control group and 3 ITP patints were selected to be analysed for the presence of GPIbα and GPIIIa on the surface of platelets with the application of FITC conjugated monoclonal antibodies using flowcytometry.
Findings: All healthy persons in control group and 3 ITP patients showed normal expression of both glycoprotiens on platelets using flowcytometry. All 15 suspected BSS patients showed lack of GPIbα but a normal expression of GPIIIa on platelets.
Conclusion: The application of flowcytometry for diagnosis of BSS is a quick, accurate, and precise method, which together with aggregometric method can be used for diagnosis of BSS.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-164-en.htmlKeywords: Bernard-Souliar SyndromeFlowcytometryGlycoprteinsDiagnosisperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-01842731articleThe relationship between blood lead concentration and electroneurographic findings in lead-exposed subjectsH. .Reihani Kermani Email: h_reihani@hotmail.com1AR.

Kalantary Email: dr_skalantari@yahoo.com1Abstract
Background: Although iodine supply has reached to adequate levels in the recent years in Iran, it is evidently lower than the amount in western countries and USA. Some studies indicate that the quantity of iodine supplies present in food substances is effective in the recurrence of Graves’ disease.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of Graves’ recurrence and related factors following dicontinuation of antithyroid agents.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study based on easy sampling, 204 euthyroid out patients with Graves’ disease, treated with methimazole for 12-59 months, were selected and evaluated for the reccurence of disease a year later following the continuation of therapy. Parameters likes age, goiter size at the beginning and end of the treatment, severity of disease (T4 value), drug maintenance dose and the duration of treatment were studied. T test and X2 were used to analysis the data statistically.
Findings: The one-year prevalence of disease recurrence following the medicine withdrawal was 44.6%, with a duration of 1-12 months (mean=7). There was no significant relation between the recurrence of disease and the age, sex, maintenance dose, goiter size before and after the treatment and also the T4 value at the beginning and the duration of treatment.
Conclusion: The one-year prevalence of Graves’ disease recurrence following antithyroids withdrawal was significantly lower than the values in countries with rich iodine supplies. This finding is in accord with studies indicating that the level of iodine intake is effective in the recurrence of Graves’ disease.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-168-en.htmlKeywords: Graves’ DiseaseGoiterThyroid DiseasesIodineThyroid AntagonistsHyperthyroidismperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-01844952articleComparison of neonate apgar score in two induction anesthetic techniques with thiopental and propofol in cesarean sectionMB.

Background: Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, and the commonest factor of heart failure, cerebrovascular diseases and renal failure in many countries.
Objective: To evaluate the attitude of Qazvin physicians on hypertensive disease.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at year of 2002 in 80 of 419 general practitioners. Data were collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire of WHO. All data analysis were carried out using SPSS, and X2 test.
Findings: Out of all participants, 73.7% were male and 26.3% female. 55% of physicians were in age group of 30-40 years with a mean value of 39±9.7. The after graduation years were >10 in 46.3%. Out of all physician, 98.8% believed that high blood pressure is a serious problem for health and 96.3% believed that the primary prevention is effective 38.8% believed that the target of blood pressure for treatment is 140/90 mmHg. There was a relationship between the after graduation years and the target treatment of blood pressure and the treatment of uncontrolled blood pressure (p=0.02). Also, there was a link between age with professional tendency in using of laboratory tests and treatment approach in uncontrolled hypertension (P=0.01). There was no relation between gender and attitude.
Conclusion: The attitude on treatment of high blood pressure was changed over the after graduation years.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-170-en.htmlKeywords: HypertensionCardiouvascular DiseasesCerebral Vascular DiseaseNoncommunicable DiseasePhysiciansperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-01845964articleThe effect of one to one midwife support on labor painN. BahribinabajEmail:nargesbahri@yahoo.com1R. Latifnejad2E. Abdollahian3H. Esmaeeli4Abstract
Background: The birth is a stressful event. Under such a condition, anxiety and pain can cause harmful effects on mother, fetus and the labor process. Giving continuous support to mother under this stressful situation reduces the anxiety and pain and helps mother for better adaptation with this crisis.
Objective: To determine the effect of continuous one-to-one midwife support on labor pain.
Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in 17 Shahrivar hospital in Mashad during a period between January 1999 to April 2000. Sixty-two healthy primigravid women with full term pregnancy were assigned in two groups. One-to-one midwife support consisted of the presence of a midwife during the first and the second stages of labor, who provided emotional support, physical comfort measures and instruction. Labor pain was measured with Visual Analogue Scale of pain (VAS). Data were analyzed using T-student, ANOVA and Fisher tests.
Findings: The labor pain score in the experimental group was significantly lower than control group at the first, second, third and the fourth hours following intervention in the first stage of labor. In the second stage, after deletion of intervening variable effect, the mean labor pain score was significantly lower in experimental than the control group. Also, increase in labor pain score from onset of intervention until the end of the first and second stages was lower in experimental than the control group(p<0.0001).
Conclusion: As the one-to-one midwife support reduced the labor pain, we suggest a continuous professional support by midwives for all women in labor.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-171-en.htmlKeywords: PsychophysiologyPatient EducationParityLaborPainMidwiferyperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-01846572articleValidity of photoanthropometric method for clinical and objective description of facial structuresM. MahmoudiEmail: newmahmoudi@yahoo.com1Abstract
Background: Using photoanthropometric method enables to describe proportional anatomic-morphologic sizes of different facial structures. This method is useful in some medical as well as anthropological studies.
Objective: Evaluation of photoanthropometric method for objective definition of facial structures for practical uses including diagnosis of some syndromes and clinical support (in medicine) and description of facial characteristics of races (in anthropology).
Methods: In this study, 19 parameters, including distance and angular measurements were performed on frontal and profile photos of 100 normal Tehranis children aged 4-14. The resulted indices for each parameter were separately shown as a scattergram to indicate dispersion of values and the age changes. Data was analysed by Excel software. The regression line and the correlation coefficient were determined for each parameter.
Findings: Results presented here are only for four parameters. While getting older, the midface height increases (r = 0.33), upper jaw becomes more prominent (r = 0.42), chin becomes higher (r = 0.48), and mouth fissure gets broader (r = 0.26).
Conclusion: Based on the results found in this study, the application of this method enables to determine normal (standard) and abnormal sizes of facial structures in population of some human races as well as some facial dysmorphic syndromes, and also aids in diagnosis and treatment.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-172-en.htmlKeywords: PhotometryAnthropometryAnatomyAnthropologyFaceMouthperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-01847376articleThe proportion of CVD from total death in Birjand 2002-2003T.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Objective: To determine the proportion of cardiovascular diseases among causes of deaths in BUMS 2002-2003.
Methods: This descriptive analytical study on total death was performed in Birjand medical university in the period of 2002-2003. Data was collected from “Death Registry” office and ICD 10. Data was analyzed using SPSS 11.5.
Findings: Out of total deaths, 28.8% of death, were due to CVD. The mean age value was 67.5 years, with 55.7% male and 44.3% female. There was no significant relationship between age, sex and mortality (p=0.66). Fourty one percent of deaths in 45-64-year age group and 35.6% of deaths in >65-year age group were due to CVD. In cardiovascular group, myocardial infarctoin (39.3%), stroke (22.6%) and HTN (10.4%) were the most common causes of Death.
Conclusion: CVD is the most preventive non-communicable disease never the less it is the most common cause of death. It seems that the regular preventive measures and intervention programs to be the most essential componets in controlling the cardiovascular risk factors.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-173-en.htmlKeywords: Heart DiseasesCardiovascular DiseasesMortalityHeart BlockCerebral InfarctionBlood PressureperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-01847780articleStudy of family history in patients with type II diabetes mellitusM.

Background: The type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is the most common type of diabetes which is triggered by various factors such as inheritance, obesity, nutrition, immobility and socioeconomic position and especially in people with genetic background.
Objective: To show whether the disease is transferred from father and second degree relative of father or through mother and her second degree relative.
Methods: This was a (cross-sectional) study on, 513 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were randomly selected from patients referred to Yazd Diabetes Research Center.
Findings: 34.2 % of patients had mothers with diabetes and in 19.8% of patients, fathers had diabetes. A positive family record among second degree relatives was shown in 29.7% of patients.
Conclusion: Diabetes in mothers and maternal second degree families (uncle, aunt) was found to be more common than paternal second degree family (aunt-uncle), indicating that a positive family history of diabetes among maternal families was higher than paternal families and it could be assumed that the diabetes inheritance is more likely to be transferred from mother.

Background: With Hypertension this clinical situation is the target organs including eye complications. The hypertensive vasculopathy can be directly identified on the retinal vessels by ophthalmoscopy.
Objective: To determine the prevalence rate of hypertensive retinopathy in high blood pressure patients.
Methods: 213 patients with hypertension were examined to determine the ophthalmologic stages of their retinopathy.
Findings: In this study 213 hypertensive patients (95 males and 118 females) in age range of 25-85 years old (mean age: 64.4710.26 years), mean duration of diagnosed hypertension 7.826.26 years and mean duration of medical treatment 7.325.46 years were evaluated.
39.9% of patients had hypertensive retinopathy which was more common in women (45.8%) than in men (33%). 47.8% of patients with positive family history and 31% with negative family history of hypertension showed hypertensive retinopathy. 25.3% of patients with mild hypertension (HTN), 34.5% with moderate HTN and 84.6% with severe HTN suffered from hypertensive retinopathy. 42.36% of patients with hypertensive retinopathy were classified as grade I, 35.29% as grade II, 20% as grade III and 2.35% as grade IV.
The most common ophthalmoscopic findings in hypertensive retinopathy were: arteriole narrowing (35.13%), AV nicking (17.12%) and cotton wool patch (9%).
Conclusion: Early diagnosis and control of high blood pressure prevents ocular and other target organ hypertension complications. Positive family history of hypertension and also hypertensive complications of target organs especially cerebrovascular are risk factors for hypertensive retinopathy.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-176-en.htmlKeywords: RetinopathyHypertensionEye DiseasesperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-01848892articleAn intra-uterine missed abortion with a simultaneous tubal ectopic pregnancyZ.

A case of heterotopic pregnancy is reported. This case was a 25 years old woman with a chief complain of vaginal bleeding which was spotting in following pregnancy after using clomiphene. An ultra-sonography report showed a missed abortion about 8 weeks of gestation. After a few days, she returned with an acute abdomen.
A tubal pregnancy with a missed abortion was suggested as a differential diagnosis. Laparatomy and D;C were performed. Pathologic report also confirmed simultaneous intra-uterine and extra-uterine pregnancy within recent years. The use of reproductive technology and ovulation stimulation has increased the prevalence of this type of rare pregnancy. Thus, heterotopic pregnancy should be considered in the presence of ectopic pregnancy signs and symptoms even if a normal intra-uterine pregnancy was confirmed.http://journal.qums.ac.ir/article-1-177-en.htmlKeywords: Missed AbortionAcute AbdomenEctopic PregnancyClomipheneHemorrhageUltrasnographyperQazvin University of Medical SciencesThe Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences1561-36662423-58142005-01849397articleBeckwith-Wiedemann syndrome in a newbornT.
